The number and superiority of its pictures give it additional value and attraction. OUR YOUNG FOLKS FOR 1872 Will be fully equal to the best of the seven volumes already published. The leading Serial Story will be A Chance for Himself. By J. T. TROWBRidge. This story will relate the fortunes of a boy, who, after various hard experiences in which fate seemed to be against him, finally has "a chance for himself." Some of the characters that figured in "Jack Hazard" will reappear here. Mr. Trowbridge's name is sufficient guaranty that this story will be of the highest order of interest and excellence. Crusoe Life. By REV. R. D. CARTER.

It will run through several numbers, and will be fully illustrated. Sketches of Natural History. By HARVEY WILDER, C. A. STEPHENS, and others. The value and readableness of the sketches heretofore given by these writers-of Bears, Wolves, Monkeys, Elephants, etc. - indicate the character of those to be anticipated in the coming volume.
